Instrumentation and Test Systems

The need for CO₂ reduction, the increasing complexity of new powertrain systems, and a requirement to achieve the highest possible level of process efficiency - along with the need to quickly launch new models - are some of the key challenges facing the automotive industry now and for the foreseeable future.

Powertrain Controls

Controls are a key characteristic to differentiate the behavior of the powertrain in regards to vehicle performance, emissions, robustness of diagnostic and brand style (Brand DNA). AVL can deliver independent and modular powertrain software control solutions from prototype through to production to meet individual customer demands.

Engine Production

AVL as reliable cooperation partner supporting customers to ensure the production quality during the production and manufacturing process of combustion engines. The increasing complexity in combustion engines requires a consistent and smart test methodology and test technology considering the manufacturing and assembling processes related to mod ...

Vehicle development

The development of modern vehicles with extremely complex powertrain concepts puts high requirements on new development and validation methods with the associated tools. In order to save costs and reduce development times, road tests are increasingly being transferred to vehicle testbeds and replaced by simulation. Transferability and a balance ...

Commercial Vehicles - On Road

Powertrains for light, medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles use an increasing number of complex systems for engine, transmission, electric drives, exhaust aftertreatment and the respective electronic control systems. The key is to balance this complexity with the life cycle cost of the vehicle.

Construction Equipment

The construction equipment market is one of the most demanding but also exciting markets. Highest requirements and customer expectation in respect to robustness, reliability, initial costs, functionality, efficiency and comfort are driving factors. AVL supports its customers in all the phases of the product life cycle to develop a product that w ...
